I'm not going to engage you on this discussion. If that means I'm
ignoring your reasonable requests for clarification, I apologize.
However, I do feel the need to acknowledge what I might have
previously done wrong ...
I may have misused your term 'base pointer' as you defined/intended
it. (I did try to suggest I was using the term very loosely, by using
quotes: "base" pointer.) The result demonstrates why these discussions
are pointless -- there are multiple terms being used with different
strict meanings by different people. A reasonable discussion has to
have everyone speaking the same language, and that *never* happens on
this subject.
I may have sounded sanctimonious, and if so I apologize. These
discussions always end up in rudeness and acrimony (shortly before
being moderated out of existence, with no resolution), so I was just
trying to save everyone time by jumping straight to the rudeness and
acrimony, skipping the intervening steps.
I mistakenly replied to your original post on the wrong list, so I'm
posting this in both places. Any further discussion should go back to
objc-language. Or maybe there won't be any further discussion.
